January 19, 2018

Bethlehem Steel FC announced today that the club has signed midfielder AJ Paterson to his first professional contract. The move is pending league and federation approval. “AJ brings versatility and size and he showed in college the ability to fill up the box-to-box role by eating up ground,” Bethlehem Steel FC head coach Brendan Burke said. “He has a defensive presence and is good in the air plus adding a left-footed player is always useful to a squad.”
